Russia will begin vaccinating citizens against the corona virus next week. President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday ordered officials to begin vaccination against the corona virus next week. Putin told Deputy Prime Minister Tatiana Golikova that he would start vaccinating the entire country next week for reporting to her. The news agency Reuters has stated this. Cases of the corona virus continue to rise in Russia, even after two corona vaccines have been developed. According to the AFP news agency, Putin also said that teachers and people from the health department would be vaccinated first.
The total number of people infected with the corona virus in Russia has reached 23,47,401. Corona infections have killed 25 people in the last 24 hours. The death toll from the epidemic in the country is said to be 41,053. However, many experts have already expressed fears that Russia is misrepresenting the total number of corona cases there.
On August 11, Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed that the world's first coronavirus vaccine, Sputnik-V, had been developed. In October, Putin approved a second Corona vaccine, EpiVacCorona, after an initial trial. Putin also claimed that the Sputnik-V vaccine had speeded up the healing process and that his daughter had taken the same dose.
Learn about the Sputnik V vaccine
The Sputnik V vaccine has been developed by the Gamleya Research Institute in Moscow in collaboration with the Russian Ministry of Defense as a base for the adenovirus. The Russian vaccine is based on the adenovirus responsible for the common cold. These vaccines are artificially made. It mimics the structural proteins in the corona virus SARS-CoV-2, which trigger the body's immune response in the same way that corona virus infection does. That is, in a way, the human body reacts exactly as it reacts to a corona virus infection, but in that it suffers the fatal consequences of covid-19.
The second corona vaccine in Russia is based on a peptide
The second Corona virus vaccine 'EpiVacCorona' has been developed by a Siberian biotech company. This peptide-based vaccine must be taken twice to prevent corona. According to the Moscow Times, Russia's Deputy PM Tatyana Golikova and the head of the Consumer Safety Monitoring Institute Anna Popova also took the vaccine.
Russia's third corona vaccine to be approved by government
by December According to the report, Russia's third corona vaccine will be approved by the government by December. Vector plans to have the first 60,000 doses of the EpiVacCorona vaccine ready as soon as possible. Russia announced on August 11 that it had approved the world's first coronavirus vaccine, Sputnik V.
Britain also approves
Pfizer vaccine On the other hand, Britain has also approved Pfizer-Bioentech's Covid-19 vaccine. Britain's Drug and Health Products Regulatory Agency has approved the vaccine after it was found to be safe. It was claimed that the vaccine was 95 percent successful in preventing corona virus. The vaccine was developed in collaboration with the American pharmaceutical company Pfizer and the German company Bioentech. Prime Minister Boris Jonas welcomed the news and confirmed that the vaccine would be available next week.
